Thank you for contacting Tableau Technical Support. My name is Henk, and I will be assisting with this case.
I have investigated the reported issue and I do have some steps below that should resolve the permissions issues on Tableau Server. We suggest consulting with your Active directory administrator to make sure the Tableau Server Run As User account has been granted permission to has access to query the Active Directory. If having the access capability, please follow the steps below re-entering the Run As User password and start Tableau Server.
• Try stopping TABLEAU Server, re-enter the Run As User password and start Tableau Server
1. Open Command Prompt and run as administrator, navigate to the “bin” folder located in the Tableau Server directory. For example if Tableau Server is installed in the default location, the directory will be: C:\Program Files\Tableau\Tableau Server\\bin 2. Type the following command to stop Tableau Server: tabadmin stop 3. From the start menu, type "Configure Tableau Server", and right click the program to open it as a Window Administrator.
4. Type the Run As user password and click "Ok" to save.
5. Type the following command to start Tableau Server: tabadmin start

1. Please make sure the username used to manage the tableau server (start, stop, restart) is register in the same domain as other user (in your Active Directory, LDAP server, or any authentication method used excluding local authentication)
2. If no. 1 ok, then ensure that the user has administrator privileges and has granted by your domain authenticator (in my case is Active Directory)
3. Open you Tableau Server Config (for Windows Start Menu > Tableau > Config Tableau Server).
4. In the window pop-up, make sure the username and password entered is the same username/password register in the Active Directory.
5. Restart your tableau server. Opps.. I recommended that you stop your tableau server first. :)
And it shall solve your problem.
p/s: it took me 2 days to figure out.
